In case any illegal .I commands are given running .B gcal the program will use internal defaults. .sp The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3'rd of September. Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the calendar for that month is a bit unusual. .SH MORE PROGRAM INFORMATION You get more program information if you start .B gcal as follows: .EX gcal -h gcal -? gcal --help resp., gcal -hh gcal -?? gcal --long-help[=ARG]|[=?] gcal --usage[=ARG]|[=?] .EE A Hypertext file .I gcal.info containing detailed online information should be available, which you can inspect using your GNU Infobrowser. .bp .SH COPYRIGHT .in 0 .sp .B Gcal Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996 Thomas Esken .sp .sp .nf ************************************************************************** * * * Thomas Esken Software , Im Hagenfeld 84 , D-48147 M"unster , GERMANY * * -------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * * This software doesn't claim completeness, correctness or usability. * * On principle I will not be liable for any damages or losses (implicit * * or explicit), which result from using or handling my software. * * If you use this software, you agree without any exception to this * * agreement, * * which binds you LEGALLY !! * * * ************************************************************************** .fi .sp .LP Gcal is free software and distributed under the terms of the `GNU General Public License'; published by the `Free Software Foundation'; version 2 or (at your option) any later version. .sp Any suggestions, improvements, extensions, bug reports, donations, proposals for contract work, and so forth are welcome!
